Sengkang Connection Industrial Loan Information

How banks approach lending on a strata industrial purchase, and what to plan for.

Financing an industrial unit at Sengkang Connection works differently from a residential mortgage in several important respects. There is no fixed regulatory loan-to-value ceiling, CPF cannot be used, and the lease term directly constrains loan tenure.

Sengkang Connection Loan-to-Value

There is no fixed MAS loan-to-value cap for non-residential property, unlike the 75% ceiling that applies to a first residential mortgage. Each bank sets its own limit, and the limit is driven mainly by intended use.

SituationIndicative LTV Range
Owner-occupied by the purchasing businessUp to approximately 90%
Investment or rented outUp to approximately 80%
Borrower with an existing residential mortgageCan fall to approximately 55%
Short remaining leaseReduced, and tenure shortened

These are indicative market ranges, not offers. Actual LTV depends on the bank, the borrower's financial position, the valuation and the specific unit.

Rates are current as at August 2026 and are subject to change. Confirm with IRAS, MAS or your bank before commitment.

Sengkang Connection Lease and Loan Tenure

This is the point that most deserves early attention. The site is on a 33-year lease from JTC, and lenders size industrial loan tenure against remaining lease with a buffer of roughly five to ten years. With construction running toward the end of the decade, remaining lease at completion will be materially shorter than 33 years.

The practical consequence is a shorter maximum loan term than a buyer might assume, and therefore higher monthly servicing for a given loan amount. This is not specific to this development — it applies to every current industrial Government Land Sales site, since 33 years is the standard tenure across the programme. It does mean the calculation should be done before committing rather than after.

Buying Sengkang Connection Through a Company

Many banks prefer, and some require, that industrial units be purchased through a company rather than by an individual. An investment-holding company is a common structure. This affects whether a loan is offered at all, not merely the terms, so it is worth establishing your lender's position early.

Where the buyer is a company, the bank assesses company financials, and directors are normally required to give personal guarantees.

CPF usageNot permitted for industrial or commercial property

CPF cannot be used for any part of an industrial purchase — not the downpayment, not the monthly instalments. The entire cash component must come from cash or company funds. Buyers coming from residential purchases consistently underestimate this.

Preparing to Finance a Sengkang Connection Purchase

Speak to a banker before the launch rather than after booking. Obtain an indicative loan amount and tenure based on the actual lease position, decide whether the purchase will be personal or corporate, and confirm the bank's stance on B2 industrial and on this development specifically.

Then model the full cash requirement: the 20% payable in the first two months, BSD, GST, legal and valuation fees, and progressive interest through construction. The payment scheme page sets out the staging and the stamp duty page the statutory costs.

The industrial purchase calculator models the cash requirement, loan disbursement and monthly repayment across the whole construction period.

All figures on this page are indicative market practice, not a quotation. Confirm with your bank and with MAS guidance before commitment.
